WEdnesday July 13 2011

This morning started with a nature walk. The skies were heavy and we want to walk by the river before the storm let loose. We stopped to watch some birds and listen to nature.

Then we hoofed it back home, and just in time.

This photo here might look like one of those bad and out of focus photos that I put on here all the time. But you'd be wrong. It's just that kind of crazy downpour today. It is making the pictures look bad.

The rain put us in a reckless mood. Yes, that's right. Buttertarts for breakfast. I know, we are a people gone crazy!

We waited for the rain to stop, then headed out to do some Picasso style collage art.

Played forts, built houses and had a wedding ceremony that featured the teddy bears and I as the main guests.

Back to the central hub of our town--the library! We ran into our Australian friends and had quite a good chat.

Ran home to have tuna-lettuce wraps (heaven in a dish!)

Raced over to the Native bead crafting session

Tada! Meet Harry. Who is not known around these parts for his hair.

And then we stopped and played with Boomer the Dog.

On our fourth walk of the day, we spotted a bird's egg

and another nature hunt began

Quick jaunt home to rest our feet and take a look at our Summer Adventure List. We have a list of 101 things we want to do this summer. Some are big dreams, and others are simple pleasures. Today we wanted to tackle a few summer pleasures.

So we embarked on yet another walk.

This is our fifth walk of the day. We met another canine friend

Then we took our cherries and got ready to fulfill another Summer Adventure List item

We travelled to the bridge (that is our silhouette)

Where we ate our cherries and then spit the seeds off the bridge.

Ah summer! The pleasures are so rich.

Another item on our summer list: watch clouds and talk about the shapes they make.

We decided this one was a plane

Taking time to smell the (neighbour's) flowers

We rode our stroller hard. Too hard in fact. We bent the wheel on it.

We had barely prayed for a new one and my neighbour said, "Do you guys need a bigger stroller because we don't use this any more?"
